Chronotope by A-Z Artistic Duo (Epic Jewellery)

The theme of A-Z Artistic Duo's (Epic Jewellery) new project revolves around the interplay of time and space, the shifting of places between the past and the future, and the questioning of the very concept of linear time, the age of humanity, and the age of things. NeoDeco's work celebrates the centenary of the legendary Art Deco style while also serving as an experiment: "What would have happened if Art Deco had emerged not at the beginning of the 20th century but at the beginning of the 21st century? If it had not been named at the famous World Exposition in Paris in 1925, but say, in 2025, how would artworks in this style be created?" A-Z aims to incorporate techniques, technologies, and opportunities that simply did not exist a hundred years ago. To realize "Pyramid," the artists turn to artificial intelligence and develop this design in conversation with it.

The work "Sirens of Titan," referencing the title of the famous novel by Kurt Vonnegut, explores the concepts of traveling through space and time. It primarily questions what architecture would be like if life existed on other planets. What would people build if they stopped creating mere bubbles for breathing and growing potatoes on Mars? And what would stadiums, theaters, or museums look like on the distant planet Titan?

"Spiders Under Drugs" is the central work for 2024-2025. This project is created at the intersection of science and art. A-Z revisits research that began in the 1940s when scientists administered various substances to spiders and observed changes in the webs they wove. A surprising finding from even the earliest experiments was that caffeine affected the spiders more than benzdrine or marijuana. A-Z creates wearable art in the form of webs made under the influence of different substances, along with the spiders that created them.

The web, in general, has become a metaphor for the intricacies of time and space and our perception of these dimensions. It reflects our place within them and our age.
